2017 Continental test drive

[IMSA-XJR9]

 

Whether or not younger luxury car buyers look closely at tachometers when driving, at least they actually buy Lexus, BMW, and Mercedes cars. Cadillac I'm not sure.

 

Outside China, I doubt anyone 45 years or younger cares one bit about the new Continental.

 

I do . . .

It's the ultimate retiree vehicle and it will likely push Lincon's average age back into the 60s.

 

Isn't it already in the 60s? This article from a couple years back said Lincoln buyers' average age was 61. http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2014/10/04/24-7-wall-st-cars-oldest-buyers/16587437/

I can't find it now but Kumar Galhotra recently updated that to 57 I believe, which is a HUGE improvement.

 

As for Town Car drivers, those are people who bought them used and somehow feel entitled to complain about what Lincoln is doing...that's almost always the case and it gets very annoying to me.

I agree about the TC buyers, BORG. Some of them post pics of their big slow, ill-handling, vinyl-topped boats and whine about Lincoln not building them anymore. Annoying but also a bit sad.

I'm below that and I care about it.....I love it and would love to have one.
